The Missouri Association of County Developmental Disabilities Services (MACDDS) is a leader in local initiatives for people with developmental disabilities. The organization is comprised of 56 county boards (including the City of St. Louis), and 8 Related Private Organizations, that provide local services for people with developmental disabilities. MACDDS is dedicated to ensuring quality community supports are available for people with developmental disabilities.

MACDDS believes having local people solving local issues results in the best services for individuals with developmental disabilities. MACDDS works to assure services and supports for people with developmental disabilities continue to be planned and carried out at the local level.

Our vision, to be an effective catalyst—shaping public policy and practice for people with developmental disabilities continues. As anticipated, the Partnership for Hope Waiver expanded with 99 counties, and the City of St. Louis, participating, serving over 3000 individuals. County Board led and private Targeted Case Management Services are now being provided in 101 counties, plus the City of St. Louis, in the State.
